Teriyaki Chicken Thighs

Hey people!! 👋
I’m posting!!! I know, I know… it’s been forever! But listen — I’ve been busy. Birthdays, company, grandbabies… you name it.

Don’t think I haven’t been cooking though. I’ve been cookin’ — I just haven’t been postin’. 😅

But I had a dinner party the other night and made these Teriyaki Chicken Thighs, and let me tell you — they were soooo biteable! 🍗

I always prefer skinless, boneless thighs — they never let me down. This sauce is quick, pantry-friendly, and ridiculously delicious. You’ve probably already got everything you need just hangin’ out in your kitchen.

I served it with my Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto (yes, I’m posting that next — what?! Two posts in a row? Don’t get used to it, people! 😂).

Give this one a go. You’ll love it. Make it, bake it, BITE it! ❤️

Ingredients 🍗

The “stuff”…

  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp cold water
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp powdered ginger (or fresh if you’re fancy)
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish 😉

Instructions 👩‍🍳

What to do with the “stuff”…

  1. In a saucepan, whisk together all sauce ingredients: cornstarch, water, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, ginger, and pepper.
  2. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and sugar dissolves. (It’ll look thick now, but don’t worry — it thins out while baking.)
  3. Pour a bit of the sauce into the bottom of your baking pan.
  4. Add the chicken thighs on top — snugly, but try not to overlap too much.
  5. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken and flip each piece once to coat fully.
  6. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 1 hour, turning halfway through.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Then… bite them! 😋


Notes 📝

  • I doubled this recipe because I had lots of thighs and wanted extra sauce — highly recommend.
  • You can make this in advance — just reheat gently so the sauce stays glossy and perfect.
  • Pairs beautifully with rice, noodles, or that Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto I mentioned.
